"Come on."
The Hyūga elder said, pulling Hyūga Iroha into the room, and came to a shelf, pointing at a few jars and saying: "These are the long-term accumulation of the Hyūga clan."
"Every Byakugan is kept alive."
"We have found the possibility of assimilating Byakugan."
"You are the most promising descendant of our clan now."
"The purity of Byakugan is the highest in the Hyūga clan in the past 30 years."
"You are the most suitable person to open those eyes."
At this moment, the face of the Hyūga elder showed an inexplicable fanaticism, and even his cloudy eyes were a little crazy.
"You failed today, and you lost to a little kid from Amegakure. You must be very unwilling, right?" the elder suddenly asked.
Hyūga Iroha was silent.
The elder took his silence as unwillingness and said to himself: "It's good to be unwilling."
"You should use this unwillingness as motivation."
"The Byakugan of my Hyūga clan is definitely not worse than the Sharingan of Uchiha."
"We also have the possibility of opening another pair of eyes."
"Everything here will become your nourishment and promote the evolution of your eyes..."
Hyūga Iroha suddenly spoke up and interrupted the elder's words.
"My parents' eyes... are they here too?"
The elder suddenly chuckled when he heard this: "Do you remember how your parents died?"
Hyūga Iroha clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "Of course."
The elder nodded and his voice returned to calm: "Three years ago, your parents were ambushed during a mission. We still haven't found out who the murderer is. When they came back, they were already seriously injured and didn't even have time to see you..."
Hyūga Iroha looked numb, staring at the rows of wooden frames in front of him, his eyes a little dazed.
"But I want to tell you that all this is because of the Hokage."
"That person treated our Hyūga clan too harshly."
"Even the attack on your parents may have been for the benefit of the Hokage."
"It's just because our Hyūga clan was unwilling to surrender to him from the beginning to the end."
"You must remember all of this."
"This is the sorrow of the Hyūga clan, and it is also the hatred you should remember!"
As he spoke, the elder came to a wooden shelf, pointed at two jars side by side, and said in a deep voice: "Inside are your parents' eyes."
"Your mother is from the branch house, but because of that incident, our main family showed mercy and released her Caged Bird, which allowed her white eyes to be preserved."
Crack!
Hyūga Iroha clenched his fists and his breathing became heavy.
The elder just glanced at him, but showed an inexplicable smile.
"Very good, remember this anger and keep it!"
He said, and then added: "All the white eyes here, including your parents' eyes, will become the nutrients to promote the evolution of your eyes. Now tell me, are you willing?"
Hyūga Iroha took a few deep breaths and barely suppressed his emotions. He looked up and stared at the two jars. There were bloodshot veins in his white eyes, which looked very strange.
"I do!"
His voice was not loud, but the elder smiled when he heard it.
"Very good, kid, you didn't let me down."
The elder smiled, patted Hyūga Iroha on the shoulder, and said: "Let's go, next, you need to be ready."
After saying that, he walked out.
Hyūga Iroha looked at everything in the room, raised his hand, and gently stroked the two jars representing his parents. He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, all the emotions in his eyes had disappeared.
He said nothing and followed the elder out without a word.
But no one noticed that in the place where Hyūga Iroha touched, a dark, inexplicable pattern appeared on the glass jar and condensed into a special shape.
As time passed, the final day was coming to an end. The final winner would be between Ishigami Asuka and Uchiha Inahiro.
Other contestants had been eliminated one after another, including Yahiko and Nagato of Rain Shinobi, and Pakura and Sasori of Sunagakure. Under Sharingan and Byakugan, they had no advantage at all; their defeat was normal.
The battle between the two started in the evening, and the movement was particularly intense, which made all the spectators feel excited.
But at this time, Ishigami Hara had already left.
Ishigami Hara just glanced at the two people who were still fighting below and left with the Anbu.
He still had things to deal with. The battle in front of him was expected. Whether it was Ishigami Asuka or Uchiha Inahiro, he expected that they could make it to the last step.
Uchiha Inahiro had good talent. After the Uchiha clan's full training, it was normal for him to reach this point. Not to mention Ishigami Asuka, Ishigami Hara also spent a lot of energy on her. The value of the double eye technique bloodline is far beyond the reach of other bloodlines.
In addition, Ishigami Asuka's own talent is not bad, and with Ishigami Hara's training, the final outcome of this game had long been determined.
Since it was already a foregone conclusion, Ishigami Hara naturally would not pay too much attention to it. After all, it was just a Chūnin Exam. Ishigami Hara's attention to it up to this point was already remarkable.
There was one thing that surprised him: Nagato's performance in the battle was only average. Ishigami Hara suspected that Uchiha Madara had left a trick on him, but there was no special performance. This made Ishigami Hara confused and more vigilant.
In the Hokage's office, Ishigami Hara looked at the clock on the wall, smoke wafting from the cigarette between his fingers, and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, as if waiting for something.
Swoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared in the office, immediately kneeling on one knee, lowering his head without saying a word.
"Have you found the place where the Byakugan is stored?" Ishigami Hara asked, not even raising his head, still looking at the scenery outside the window.
The person who appeared in the office was none other than Hyūga Iroha.
"Yes, Hokage-sama, I have found the location, and I have left the Flying Thunder God mark there."
Ishigami Hara raised his lips and then turned his chair to face the boy in front of him.
Who would have thought that the genius boy of the Hyūga clan, the descendant with the best Byakugan purity in the main family, had actually mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?
"So... do you still doubt what I said?" Ishigami Hara asked.
Hyūga Iroha did not look up, but his breathing was a little heavy. Finally, he took a few deep breaths, suppressing his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Hokage-sama, my parents' death was indeed due to the main family..."
At this point, he couldn't continue.
Ishigami Hara said: "Since it was discovered that you have exceptional Byakugan purity three years ago, some things were destined."
"The people of Hyūga have become a little crazy, and the death of your parents was also inevitable."
"Perhaps they think that the pupil power between blood relatives could become the trigger to open your eyes."
Speaking of this, Ishigami Hara smiled and shook his head.
"Their idea is not entirely wrong. For this, they even violated traditions and clan rules, using special methods to preserve your mother's eyes. Iroha, since they want it, let them have it. I also look forward to you opening those eyes."
